COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Two traditions are brought together here in a unique complacency, namely an original succulence never tempted before. The result is sublime, liberating a graceful taste tinted by a controlled acidity on the lambic confused with the dry fruity of the pumpkin and the discreet sugar added. By crossing the middle of the mouth appears a taste of brown sugar remembering and accentuating the convivial touch of Halloween.

Draft. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of pumpkin, malt, and brettanomyces. The flavor is sour with notes of malt, brettanomyces, and pumpkin, leading to a tart finish. The body is light.

Bottle. Cloudy light amber color, large thick tan head with good retention and decent lacing. Aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon. Taste is an odd but interesting combination of sour and spice. Unique, but I’m not sure about this one.

Keg at The Rake, London. Pours clear gold with a small, white bubble head. Tangy fruits on the nose, some very light gourds, hints of brown sugar. Medium sweet flavour, very slightly syrupy, with tangy berries, a bit of sugar. Light to medium bodied with fine, tickling carbonation. Sweet, faintly sticky finish with light sourness, more tangy berries, a bit of sugar. I want to say there are some vague suggestions of pumpkin rind, but if I tried his beer blind I would never say "pumpkin!". As it is, it is decent.

On tap at Brouwer’s Cafe, pours a dark murky orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out sweet pumpkin notes, pumpkin spices (nutmeg and cinnamon), and some sweetness. Flavour brings out pumpkin purée, pumpkin spices, as aforementioned, and vanilla. Not really any sweetness at all, which is contrary to what I expected. Doesn’t really strike me as a lambic, but just as a regular pumpkin beer. Solid in small quantities.
